The Panel of Stewards opened an inquiry into the running and handling of MAGNITUDE today. Evidence were taken from App P Haris, the rider of MAGNITUDE in the presence of his master Trainer K Coetzee and Trainer SY Lim, the trainer of MAGNITUDE.

After considering all the evidence and reviewing all angles of the video, App P Haris pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards.

The particulars of the charge are that:

Shortly after the start, he restrained his mount, resulting in his mount throwing its head up badly, thereby losing considerable ground;
From the 300M to the 100M, he had a tight hold of his mount with his right hand when his mount was running on strongly;
At about the 50M, he unnecessarily checked his mount for no apparent reason(s).

In assessing the penalty, the Panel of Stewards took into consideration App P Haris’s disciplinary record, guilty plea and mitigating factors. App P Haris was suspended from riding in races for a period of six (6) months with effect from 9^th June 2025 and to expire on 8^th December 2025, both dates inclusive. In addition, he was fined the sum of RM40,000/- (Malaysian Ringgit: Forty Thousand Only) and was advised of his right of appeal (6.15pm).

A post-race veterinary examination of MAGNITUDE (App P Haris) revealed no obvious abnormality.
